Jackaby by William Ritter | Book Review

I feel like I have been anticipating reading Jackaby by William Ritter for like FOREVER. No, but seriously, it was a relatively decent book. Jackaby is described as Sherlock meets Dr. Who. As I’ve watched around fifteen minutes of Dr. Who, have only seen The Great Mouse Detective, I can’t quite testify to the accuracy of that comparison. What I can, however, testify to is the merits and drawbacks that I perceived while reading this book. On the whole, I liked Jackaby, yet it did not entirely gel with me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good book that’s worth recommending.

Greenglass House by Kate Milford | Book Review

I love that Kate Milford’s books trust that children will be intelligent. I love that they are complex stories with interesting characters and themes. Greenglass House by Kate Milford is a wintery read with quite the mystery to unravel and a rather fascinating cast of characters. Milo is looking forward to vacation and some time alone […]

All The Truth That’s In Me by Julie Berry | Book Review

Man, All The Truth That’s In Me is a total departure from the other Julie Berry book I read, Secondhand Charm. I am actually really okay with this. I like when authors try different things and I like it even more when they succeed at stepping outside the cute and adorable comfort zone. (From what I remember, Secondhand […]

The Interrupted Tale by Maryrose Wood | Audiobook Review

Why Did I Listen To This Book? I am really invested in the Incorrigible Children Of Ashton Place series by Maryrose Wood. I’ve physically read two books in this series, listened to one book and thus, decided that because I don’t really have the time to physically read The Interrupted Tale, fourth in the series, I might […]
